Untitled[edit]

Needs work, no doubt but please do not cause trouble and try to delete this right away. That is very disruptive and destructive.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Bosnia (talk • contribs)

@Tim Bosnia: This article subject, under a different title, was deleted by a deletion discussion, meaning that in order to recreate the article, you must address the reasons for which it was deleted(that are mentioned in the discussion)> 331dot (talk) 15:33, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@David.moreno72: What was the previous discussion? 331dot (talk) 15:11, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the previous deletion discussion was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Bosma, and the article ended up at Death of Tim Bosma immediately prior to being deleted. Looking at the article, it contained a full description of the events. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see the article. I also did not know about the article.

I also see now that such discussion was in May. Since then, interest and references about Bosma's murder has skyrocketed. It's the top 3 murders of Canada in the last several years. The gay cannibal was the other big murder. Tim Bosnia (talk) 03:40, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Needs lot of work[edit]

This needs lots of work. Suggest teams of people work on:

Summary

Murder and why it was different

Killer

Trial and coverage

That is a good start. I am willing to work on the trial part. Fiona Gump (talk) 02:53, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It also appears to be going beyond the discussion of a single murder, that of Tim Bosma, to include the murder of Laura Babcock and the alleged murder of Wayne Millard. I suggest the title of the article should be changed to reflect this broader scope.

Also, given the amount of press coverage of the trial for the murder of Bosma and the press coverage of the trial for the murder of Babcack, it should be easy enough to get supporting material for the article. 2001:56A:F3C7:B500:31AA:9EEC:F7DE:8FF3 (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Murder of Laura Babcock[edit]

Another editor has created Draft:Murder of Laura Babcock. I do not know whether it should be moved to article space or merged with this article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:55, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the content should be merged into one article at Dellen Millard and Mark Smich (as with several other Criminal duos), to limit redundancy. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and moved it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:52, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
